Have you tried local shops or online mate?
MPE for M235i around 1.9k - 2.2k (add 500bucks for carbon tips ) M diffuser is around 250 - 500 shmackos depending if you want matt, gloss or carbon fibre finish. You should consider DP. A mate of mine has MPE with DP and that thing is amazingly aggressive in spound. The cracks and pops on downshift is intoxicating. |

would've taken my friend's car out for you to hear it Live if you were local. MPE is nice but you gotta wait till it has a break in period first (usually 1000km) . Hope you get it for a good price. |

its not ridiculously loud like other exhaust. Has a nice crack and burble on sports mode when letting off the throttle (but needs 1000km for it to carbonise before you here it). Also the car is very well insulated (F series models compared to E series) so you wont hear it much inside the cabin, but bystanders will know!!
DP will make it even more noticable (catted or catless). Hope u enjoy the new sound. |

Just want to avoid doing cheap dodgy stuff especially on a BMW to do just a Muffler Delete but at the same time i still want the bubles/crackles without attracting police as i tend to drive how these cars are meant to be driven P-Plate Lifes lol. |

A full system turbo back (downpipes and catback) is costly, but you get what you pay for. An axle back like MPE, active autowerkes(no longer in stock I heard), AWE, or Milltek will give you a nice burble but won't annoy your neighbours or attract to much attention form the boys in blue. I personally like the MPE (especially the carbon tips) as they make the car look sporty and you can tell your cop friends that they are "factory" spec with the 'M' logo on it, but they are pricey for just an axle back. It wouldn't be too pricey if our current Aussie dollar isn't so bad and the shipping cost internationally. I think some online sites advertise them for 900-1100USD. |

Im very keen USD Sites selling $858USD atm, But they don't ship to Australia which is silly. Ive made an enquiry on a used one that was used for like 2 weeks and he was asking $300USD for shipping which is abit ridiculous considering thats half the MPE and ive bought full carbon kit etc and the packaging was like 3x the size/weight and they only asked about that much Also, came across this tonight i messaged to see if they'd go lower... having showed them being listed for like 900USD lol, if they do they only ask $100 for shipping so i would be interested. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Genuine-B.../281699878793? After this its a damn diffuser... Saving's havent increased that much since i got this car |

Just a heads up my friend...it doesn't stop there!!!
First you go for the exhaust, Then you itch for an intake, Then you want new wheels, Then you wanna drop it, Then you want carbon bits, Then you want more power with a tune Then you go back for a down pipe to compliment that tune Then you go all out and upgrade the intercooler, chargepipe, fuel pump, throw in meth, fill up with e85 to have a 400+ hp machine...and then it's time to sell her and you realise you shouldn't have splurged all that money on her.... It never ends |

-- I guess, I'm at the final stage where I'm thinking of selling & regretting spending all that money. I have a gut feeling that I'll be repeating this cycle for some reason

I wouldn't get a mpe, what's the point? In Australia it's 2k+ for a few extra hundred you can get cat-back exhaust. No brainer.

Not sure if i wanna buy other brands and have it retrofitted for 228i. Mpe being cheap (If its at what im wanting to get it for) it would be less of a loss i guess |
